Ladies and Gentlemen...

I submit to you that the very fact this particular bill was allowed into Congress.....

Rep. Alcee Hastings - the impeached Florida judge Nancy Pelosi tried to install as chairman of the House Intelligence Committee until her own party members rebelled - introduced an amendment to the defense authorization bill that gives Attorney General Eric Holder sole discretion to label groups that oppose government policy on guns, abortion, immigration, states' rights, or a host of other issues. In a June 25 speech on the House floor, Rep. Trent Franks, R-AZ, blasted the idea: "This sounds an alarm for many of us because of the recent shocking and offensive report released by the Department of Homeland Security which labeled, arguably, a majority of Americans as 'extremists.'"

Is reason enough to call for Hastings' impeachment, and forcible removal if necessary. And should this pile of crap manage to pass the House, then I consider that reason enough to impeach each and every congresscritter who voted "Aye".

The budget busting Congress

So anyways, I spoke yesterday about a certain person in a certain forum that I sometimes frequent. There are other people on that forum, big Obama supporters, who screamed about the Bush deficits during the election. They would wave Republican spending around like a bloody shirt as a reason why we should all vote for change. And when I pointed out that the likelyhood of spending slowing down under Obama was nil, I was insulted and verbally abused.

So, now the deficit hits $1,000,000,000,000 (one TRILLION dollars!) for the first time EVER.

So I've actually hunted these folks down (metaphorically speaking), waved the one TRILLION dollar deficit under their noses and asked them this question:

When you were howling about the Bush deficits as a reason to vote for Obama, were you just that fucking stupid, or were you purposefully lying? Either way, it doesn't look too good.

Sotomayor

Barring the rise of the GOP into adequacy, we're about to have a small-minded, racist judge sitting on the highest court of the land. And if that doesn't make you weep, then you're in dire need of medication. I was going to type out a manifesto on her, but Gabriel Malor at Ace of Spades HQ has already done so.

When I write that Sotomayor's extensive history of race- and gender-bias should disqualify her for a seat on the Supreme Court that's not hyperbole. I mean it. She should not be a judge because she believes that some individuals are better than others by virtue of membership in certain identity groups. She should not be a judge because she tried to hide a case involving important constitutional and statutory questions from her fellow appellate judges. Such a small-minded and intellectually dishonest person should not be elevated to the highest Court. If only the Republicans on Senate Judiciary agreed.

The Republican Stupid Party has once again displayed the weak-minded, yellow bellied, incompetency that lost them the 2006 elections, and the 2008 elections, and going by what I see, the 2010 elections. Gah.

So.....

There's a person on a certain forum I frequent, both of whom will remain nameless, who is an avowed Obama supporter, and while I don't know if I can classify her as a far-left kook, she's certainly anti-conservative to the core. She works for DOD on weapons systems. She was crowing about Obama's election right after it occured, and I told her in no uncertain terms, "When Obama begins to cut the military, I hope your job is first on the chopping block." The Missile Defense System was round one.

Here begins round two.

And the fact of the matter is, if this person gets laid off, it'll be exactly what she deserves. After all, she voted for it.

Police remove upside down flag for 4th then return it the next day

There is a huge debate as to if the reason this flag was being flown upside down was appropriate or not. I do not wish to enter that debate, though some of you may.

Flying or displaying the flag upside down is an acceptable method of displying the flag as a signal of dire distress and in instances of extreme danger to life or property. This is accoring to Title 36, U.S.C., Chapter 10, § 176.

DSIPLAYING THE FLAG UPSIDE DOWN

My issue is that the town police, on the judgement of the District Attorney removed the flag for the 4th of July parade because "It is illegal to cause a disruption," he said. "There were a lot of vets at that parade." The person flying the flag is an Iraq War Vet who had spent over $200,000 remodeling a restaurant before the town of Critvitz decided not to issue him a liqueur licence for an Italian Restaurant. He started flying the flag in mid-june.

My question is do the police have the right to sieze this flag that is being flow as a protest? Is this supported by the 1st amendment or not? After all people are allowed to burn the flag? How many people flew an upside down flag to protest President Bush?

"It is pretty bad when I go and fight a tyrannical government somewhere else," Congine said, "and then I come home to find it right here at my front door."

Computer infected

So I turned my computer off last Monday before I left. I came back yesterday, turned the computer on, and it wouldn't recognize my secure network.

Did I mention how much I hate Windows? Did I mention how much I hate the virus known as Windows Vista? Have I mentioned that I cannot stand Microsoft?

I'm running an end-around right now just to get online on my own network. Because of Windows Vista. This worthless piece of shit isn't an operating system, it's a pile of crap code sandwiched between two pieces of fail and wrapped up in a box of fuck-you-very-much. The hardware on this laptop is the best that I've ever owned, and if it had an actual operating system instead of the Windows Vista Virus, I would be able to just scream through all the tasks I have to do.

Instead? It's slower than XP, less stable than Windows ME, and the number one reason why I will be buying an Mac the next go around.

Obama holds his hand over his heart...

For Unknown Communist Soldier

But Barack Hussein Obama shows no respect for America...

Gateway Pundit : Obama Won't Admit the US Won the Cold War (Video)

So, we can't even say we won?

Ace : Obama To Russia: Hey Guys, Thanks For Ending The Cold War

"And then, within a few short years, the world as it was ceased to be. Now, make no mistake: This change did not come from any one nation. The Cold War reached a conclusion because of the actions of many nations over many years, and because the people of Russia and Eastern Europe stood up and decided that its end would be peaceful." -- Barack Hussein Obama

That's who ended the Cold War peacefully? Really? Not the generations of Americans who stood watch for decades deterring Soviet expansionism? Not dissidents who rotted in gulags for years keeping the flame of liberty alive during the long winter of communist rule?

It certainly wasn't Ronald Reagan who broke the paradigm which said the Soviet rule was cast in stone, contained perhaps but never to be rolled back.

America...just one of many nations, nothing special.

Bloggus interuptus

I actually have some vacation coming up, and the Ragin' Mrs. and I are headed out to where the only light is either sunlight, moonlight, or oil-fired lamps.

Which means..... no intartubes for a week. Although I may come back with some kick-ass pictures, if all goes well. In the meantime, I won't be posting, and the Ragin' Mrs. sure as hell won't be posting either.

See you in a week. How does the 13th or so sound?

I have two problems with this -

One, the electoral collage is the only thing keeping the liberal cesspools from ruining the country even further, and national service is not written in the Constitution, unless you mean as the unorganized militia.

But other than that.... yep.



Sad part is, I don't know if the kids coming out of the publik skool sistim would understand half of what he says, or why he says it.

Found here.

Hey, here's a question

Do you think that if John McCain had defended Sarah Palin as vociferously as he defended Teleprompter Jesus, do you think Palin would have resigned right now?

I mean, good lord, the woman is $500,000 in debt from defending herself from bogus ethics complaints. That's HALF A MILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT. You want to know why she resigned? Because if she stayed in office, she'd be a million dollars in debt by the end of her term. And not one single ethics complaint has been true. Not one. The State of Alaska has spent $2,000,000 defending Palin from these harassing legal battles.

Two. Million Dollars. To have count after count after count thrown out. The charges are all bullshit. But the Left doesn't care. The left wants to destroy her, because Sarah Palin is the woman who exposes the Feminazi's as the frauds, hypocrites and liars that they are. The "moderate" conservatives in the GOP hate her because .... hell, I don't know why. Maybe because they fear a return to conservative values. Maybe because they know that Sarah Palin, while being a woman, still has bigger balls than half the men in the GOP. Maybe because they know that without Palin, McCain wouldn't have gotten half the votes he got, and they're pissed off about that. But for whatever reason, Palin has been attacked by her own damn party as well as the Left, and to be honest it's made me push myself further away from the GOP than I had previously done.

The Left has done everything in their power to destroy Sarah Palin, and they've been downright vicious and cruel about it. And it's about damn time that one of the nutless fucking wonders of the GOP started playing by their rules. It's about damn time that the spinless sacks of shit who make up the GOP finally figured out that playing nice with the Left only gets you stabbed in the back. And it's well past time to fight fire with fire.

Fuck it, it's war, it's been war for years, and the GOP needs to wake up and smell the damn coffee.

UPDATE: Cold Fury says it better:

Sue them, bankrupt them, ruin their lives, destroy their careers, shut down their blogs and other propaganda outlets, get ‘em locked up wherever possible. Kick them in the teeth again and again, until they howl in pain from the gutter they roll in. Scorch the very earth under their feet. Unleash pure hell on them, and make every single day of their lives a horror and a misery — just as they did to you, just as they’ve done to so many other decent men and women who have the temerity to disagree with their anti-American ideal of what this country should be. Liberal asswipes have gotten away with this sort of thing for far too long.

Palin’s political career is over, you say? If she takes the fight to the villainous curs and sees to it that they get what they so richly deserve for abusing our legal system and undermining our system of government, every true conservative in the country will cheer her loud and long, and will eagerly cast their votes for her in whatever election she decides to contest — which would be a welcome change from dragging ourselves to the polls with reluctance and dismay. Hopefully, this is but the opening salvo in a long, vigorous, and thorough fight. We’ll see. If Palin keeps after them, the sky will be the limit for her. We’ve been waiting for this a long time, and she’s just the person to make it happen.

Reap the whirlwind, you odious, gutless, evil pricks. We’ll fix your little red wagon yet; wait and see if we don’t.

Yep. And let them squeal.

(D)emocrats hate the flag

Gateway Pundit : America-Hating Dems Caught On Tape -- Refuse to Stand For Pledge of Allegiance

America-hating libs in New York State refuse to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. The Democrats even stopped their colleagues from standing for the Pledge...

Barack Hussein Obama didn't just refuse to wear an American flag pin, he dramatically announced it. He painted over the flag on his campaign jet, he refused to say the pledge... yet Cuban flags with the murderer Che Guevera adorn his campaign offices and Barack Hussein Obama rushes to side with Communists Chavez and Castro and Ortega and Morales against the democracies they seek to overturn.

Barack Hussein Obama sucks dictator.

Happy 4th!

As hard as it is, I'm going to avoid any politics today. I've got plenty to do, and the step-son and I made up nine pounds of bratwurst to cook up for dinner with friends.

Spend time with your friends and family, and have a happy 4th of July.

Duke rape case

What, did you think about the white Lacrosse players? No, sorry, this is the Duke professor who raped his adopted son. For some reason, it didn't make it into the national news like that other rape case, where all those Lacrosse players were innocent.

Frank Lombard is the associate director of Duke’s Center for Health Policy. The university administrator was recently arrested by the FBI and charged with offering up his adopted 5-year-old son for sex. I tried to contact Frank Lombard over the weekend to probe his expertise regarding the health benefits of raping small children. So far, he’s declined to comment.

University administrator Lombard is accused of logging on to a chat room online and describing himself as a “perv dad for fun.” The detective who wisely looked into the suspicious screen name says that Lombard admitted to molesting his own adopted son. All this was before allegedly inviting a stranger to travel to North Carolina from another state to statutorily rape his already-molested adopted son.

I'm about to get all kinds of un-politically correct here - but in all the Catholic child molestation cases, did you ever hear about a Catholic priest molesting a little girl? Nope, it was boys, boys, boys.

Will I lose readers for that comment? Doubtfull, since I have very few readers to begin with. But there it is. And you can draw your own conclusions.

The thought of having sex with a five year old is disgusting. Period. End of story. If you like having sex with a five year old, get the hell out. Stop reading. I don't need you reading this blog. But you know what? The thought of adopting a five year old with the thought of raping him?

I don't care who you are, that's worthy of the firing squad. I do not honestly believe that you can "rehabilitate" someone who likes to screw a five-year old boy. Someone who adopts a little boy with the express purpose of molesting him? There's no turning back. You might be able to beg God for forgiveness, but I do not believe that you can ever return to society from that. You rape a five year old, you deserve a blindfold and five bullets. That. Is. It.

But what do you hear from the Left? Crickets. Where are the dozens of professors signing a statement denouncing the rape? I mean, like all those professors signed against the lacrosse players?

Oh, there isn't one? What a fucking surprise. Because a gay man raping a little black boy is OK with them.

Gah. Can anyone give me one reason to let this asshat live?

Compare and Contrast

Over at Gateway Pundit there's two photos, one of a small rally in support of Zelaya, and one of a massive rally against Zelaya. Guess which rally the American Media American Communist Party Propaganda Corps focused on?

Would you like to die a horrible, painful death?

Then just let Obama and the government take over your health care. At this point I have no hope of preventing the takeover. You can shove proof under a Leftist nose and they ignore it. You can provide reams of evidence to a Leftist and they ignore it. You can show the them results of their plans, and a Leftist will blame it on someone else. You can shove a Leftist's failure after failure right under their nose, and they will sniff and proclaim it to be a bouquet of roses.

They are pushing for a system that cannot work, will not work, and more importantly DOES NOT WORK. This isn't some theory. This isn't guesswork. This isn't just on paper, there are real world examples of systems that the Left wants to impose on this country and they all fail to meet the standards set by the American health care system.

Infant mortality rates are often cited as a reason socialized medicine and a single-payer system is supposed to be better than what we have here. But according to Dr. Linda Halderman, a policy adviser in the California State Senate, these comparisons are bogus.

As she points out, in the U.S., low birth-weight babies are still babies. In Canada, Germany and Austria, a premature baby weighing less than 500 grams is not considered a living child and is not counted in such statistics. They're considered "unsalvageable" and therefore never alive.

Norway boasts one of the lowest infant mortality rates in the world — until you factor in weight at birth, and then its rate is no better than in the U.S.

In other countries babies that survive less than 24 hours are also excluded and are classified as "stillborn." In the U.S. any infant that shows any sign of life for any length of time is considered a live birth.

A child born in Hong Kong or Japan that lives less than a day is reported as a "miscarriage" and not counted. In Switzerland and other parts of Europe, a baby is not counted as a baby if it is less than 30 centimeters in length.

In 2007, there were at least 40 mothers and their babies who were airlifted from British Columbia alone to the U.S. because Canadian hospitals didn't have room. It's worth noting that since 2000, 42 of the world's 52 surviving babies weighing less than 400g (0.9 pounds) were born in the U.S.

It must be embarrassing to Canada that a G-7 economy and a country of 30 million people can't offer the same level of health care as a town of just over 50,000 in rural Montana. Where will Canada send its preemies and other critical patients when we adopt their health care system?

I hope that the people who voted for Obama are the first ones to die in his health care system. Found via The Smallest Minority.

OUTFUCKINGSTANDING!

Keep this up, Honduras! It's nice to see that at least one country in North America understands what the rule of law means.

Newly appointed President Roberto Micheletti said it would take a foreign invasion put Zelaya back in power, and said he was sending a delegation to Washington in an attempt to reverse the country's increasing international isolation, though his own foreign minister later denied that.

The fact that the world would rather deal with a Leftist dictator-wannabe shows that it's the world who's mentally, morally and intellectually deficient, not Honduras. And it's obvious that my country's leadership cannot recognize the rule of law at all, preferring instead to support a criminal who would rip his country's constitution into shreds in his naked grab for power.

But as I said, the Democrat American Communist Party has yet to find a Leftist thug it wouldn't perform fellatio on. So we shouldn't be too surprised at all that Obama and Congress support the thug. They supported Venezuela over Columbia. That's all that needs to be said.

So I'm raising a glass to Honduras tonight. Let them keep telling Obama and the rest of the communist cohorts to go fuck off. At least one country in the world understands that Leftists cannot be reasoned with.

Congratulations, Minnesota

You are now represented by a complete and total fucking retard.

Ending an eight-month legal battle, Republican Norm Coleman conceded Tuesday to Democrat Al Franken in the Minnesota Senate race after the state's high court ruled that Franken should be certified as the winner.

As a friend of mine put it - "He was elected by two counties. And only two counties." So it's sort of like King County in Washington state, a cesspool of idiocy surrounded by people who hate it.

This is why the 17th Amendment was such a bad idea. Repealing the 17th Amendment would allow individual States to be represented. As it stands now, we have two houses of representatives, which was never supposed to take place.

When is that civil war coming along?

The "wise latina" shown to be otherwise by the Supreme Court

I have no doubts that y'all have heard about the New Haven decision. Even though I do not believe this will fully derail her, watching the White House try to minimize this tells me that it is a start and I feel I must celebrate!

The Supreme Court's rejection of a decision against white firefighters endorsed by Judge Sonia Sotomayor gives Republicans a renewed chance to attack her speeches and writings but is not expected to imperil her confirmation to the high court, political and legal sources said yesterday.

The decision that the New Haven, Conn., firefighters were unfairly denied promotions because of their race comes two weeks before Sotomayor's Senate confirmation hearings and is an unwelcome distraction for the White House from what had seemed like a relatively smooth confirmation process. It is also somewhat of an embarrassment, forcing administration officials to explain why the court overturned a controversial decision backed by its prospective next member.

Sotomayor was on the three-judge appellate court panel that last year upheld New Haven's decision to throw out a promotion test it gave the firefighters when no African Americans and only two Hispanics qualified for advancement. The 134-word order has been the flash point for much of the debate since President Obama nominated Sotomayor for the Supreme Court. The high court yesterday narrowly reversed the appellate court decision, ruling 5-4 in favor of the white firefighters who sued New Haven. It was the fourth time the Supreme Court has overturned Sotomayor; it has upheld her decisions three times. Experts say the court customarily reverses three-quarters of the cases it reviews.

As reactions broke along the partisan lines seen yesterday on the Supreme Court itself, conservatives called the decision a repudiation of Sotomayor. They signaled they will use it to sharply question her about her views on discrimination, especially in conjunction with her 2001 remark that a "wise Latina woman" would usually decide cases better than a white man.

"Every citizen has a right to have his or her case heard by a judge who will rule on the laws, the facts and the Constitution -- and not play favorites," said Sen. Jeff Sessions (Ala.), the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee. "This case sharpens our focus on Judge Sotomayor's troubling speeches and writings, which indicate the opposite belief: that personal experiences and political views should influence a judge's decision."

But Hans von Spakovsky, a legal scholar at the conservative Heritage Foundation and a former Justice Department official, said the case raised questions about Sotomayor's fitness to serve on the high court. "Judge Sotomayor's willingness . . . to allow her admitted personal biases towards certain racial and ethnic groups affect her judging raises serious questions about her qualifications to sit on the Supreme Court," he said.

On the Honduran "coup"

And yes, I put scare quotes around the word "coup", because despite the AP's breathless pronouncement of such, and despite our government's ill placed and ill advised pronouncements, it's not a coup. Just to recount a few points -

The former Honduran president, Manuel Zelaya, was limited by the Honduran constitution to a single four-year term. Zelaya happens to be a Leftist, and like all Leftists he didn't give a shit about his country's constitution when it got in the way of his personal power grab. So he decided to hold a referendum in direct violation of his country's constitution, in order to remain the president after his four year term.

The Supreme Court of Honduras said the referendum was illegal, and would not allow the Honduran government to print up any ballots or do anything to hold Zelaya's referendum. So Zelaya gets a bunch of ballots from his pal Hugo Chavez. The Supreme Court of Honduras forbade the Honduran military from conducting any polls or distributing any ballots. The top general in Honduras tells Zelaya that he won't obey any illegal orders, so Zelaya fires him. The Honduran courts tell Zelaya to re-instate the general, and Zelaya tells them to fuck off. Zelaya finally leads a mob to break into a military base and get the ballots that his pal Hugo Chavez sent. At that point, the military arrests him and ships him off to Costa Rica.

Here's a good run-down of it.

While Honduran law allows for a constitutional rewrite, the power to open that door does not lie with the president. A constituent assembly can only be called through a national referendum approved by its Congress.

But Mr. Zelaya declared the vote on his own and had Mr. Chávez ship him the necessary ballots from Venezuela. The Supreme Court ruled his referendum unconstitutional, and it instructed the military not to carry out the logistics of the vote as it normally would do.

The top military commander, Gen. Romeo Vásquez Velásquez, told the president that he would have to comply. Mr. Zelaya promptly fired him. The Supreme Court ordered him reinstated. Mr. Zelaya refused.

Calculating that some critical mass of Hondurans would take his side, the president decided he would run the referendum himself. So on Thursday he led a mob that broke into the military installation where the ballots from Venezuela were being stored and then had his supporters distribute them in defiance of the Supreme Court's order.

The attorney general had already made clear that the referendum was illegal, and he further announced that he would prosecute anyone involved in carrying it out. Yesterday, Mr. Zelaya was arrested by the military and is now in exile in Costa Rica.

And this is supposed to be a coup? Hmmmmm.... since when does ENFORCING THE LAW OF THE COUNTRY AND SAID COUNTRY'S CONSTITUION EQUAL A COUP????

And of course team Obama jumps right in defending Zalaya, because really, there hasn't been a communist dictator that the Democrat American Communist Party wouldn't coddle up to. Hey Obama? When you're siding with Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro, you're on the wrong fucking side, you damned shithead. Yeah, people were getting SHOT IN THE FUCKING HEAD while they protested in Iran, and Team Obama yawned out some half-assed platitude about how the world was watching, but let one ball-gargling communist get put in his place after they try to violate their country's constitution, and Obama is all over that!

I hope that Honduras continues to tell brainless asshats like Obama and Chavez to take a flying fuck at a rolling donut. There's one less Leftist in power in Latin America, and that's a good thing, no matter what Obama the fucking idiot says.

New Tactics in Afghanistan

If you've got the time, reading this might be beneficial. I haven't written about GEN McChrystal's new rules of engagement in Afghanistan, mainly because while I heard the howling of the masses regarding his new rules, I also knew that McChrystal wasn't some politically correct doofus.

So if you're into the military mode of thinking, go give it a read.

I was wondering what you think about this ridiculous health care talk out there.

This is just one more reminder that the private sector and competitive market forces, not the federal government, are the best means to meeting our country's rapidly expanding health care needs.

I was looking for a way to try and do something positive about it, and just signed a petition with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce here to help emphasize that. We need to get involved!
Janet | 06.26.09 - 12:39 pm | #

Janet,

I have only two words for you: England, France!!!

Seriously, If you look at the health care in those two countries you can see exactly what is going to happen to ours. As it stands, we already have two government run health care plans in this country - Medicare, and Medicaid. Medicare is run at the Federal level, and Medicaid is run at the state level. Medicare is run so poorly that many doctors and medical practitioners have been refusing to accept any patients with that program, because the doctor or clinic do not get reimbursed enough.

When the government run health care plans are already a failure, what makes anyone think that a NEW government run health care plan will be a success? We don't have to guess at what the government will do, we can see what they do right now!

I hear about all of these people that don't have health care and then I meet them. I will admit there are some people that genuinely fall through the cracks, they don't have enough money to afford medical, especially if they have chronic issues, and earn too much to qualify for Medicaid. They are the exceptions! The vast majority of people I know without medical insurance are that way because it is not a priority for them, they would rather have that third car or that vacation than pay for the insurance or save an emergency slush fund.

This would be a good thing.

On the other hand the UN is trying to strong arm us into this:

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, often referred to as CRC or UNCRC, is an international convention setting out the civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights of children. Nations that ratify this international convention are bound to it by international law. Compliance is monitored by the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child which is composed of members from countries around the world. Once a year, the Committee submits a report to the Third Committee of the United Nations General Assembly, which also hears a statement from the CRC Chair, and the Assembly adopts a Resolution on the Rights of the Child.^[4]

Governments of countries that have ratified the Convention are required to report to, and appear before, the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child periodically to be examined on their progress with regards to the advancement of the implementation of the Convention and the status of child rights in their country. Their reports and the committee's written views and concerns are available on the committee's website.

The United Nations General Assembly adopted the Convention and opened it for signature on 20 November 1989 (the 30th anniversary of its Declaration of the Rights of the Child).^[5] It came into force on 2 September 1990, after it was ratified by the required number of nations. As of December 2008, 193 countries have ratified it,^[1] including every member of the United Nations except the United States and Somalia.^[4][6]

Which would NOT be a good thing!

Does Obama negotiate with terrorists?

Yes, yes he does!

About two weeks ago, the Obama administration released Laith Qazali after extensive negotiations with the Asaib al-Haq terror network. That network has long been in negotiations with the fledgling Iraqi government, dangling the possibility of laying down its arms, renouncing violence, and integrating into Iraqi society, provided that its top members — particularly Qais and Laith Qazali, as well as Ali Mussa Daqduq — be released. Realizing, however, that these terrorists were responsible for kidnapping and killing American soldiers in gross violation of the laws of war, the Bush administration had declined to release them.

You want to know why I never, ever vote for the Democrat American Communist Party member? Because when ever there is a Donk in the Oval Office, the troops are going to get screwed somehow. If the terrorist tumblefucks realize that Mr. Hope'n'Change will release their terrorist buddies in exchange for a few hostages, GUESS WHAT? THEY'LL KIDNAP MORE PEOPLE! This is worse than amature hour in the White House. This is Jimmy Carter v 2, with worse results.

By contrast, President Obama was persuaded to free Laith Qazali outright, just as Obama previously had authorized the outright release to Britain of the al-Qaeda terrorist Binyam Mohammed, who had plotted with “dirty bomber” José Padilla to commit post-9/11 mass-murder attacks in American cities. And although the administration has attempted to pass off Laith Qazali’s release as a necessary compromise of American national interests for the purportedly greater good of Iraqi reconciliation, the camouflage is thin indeed. Transparently, the terrorist has been freed as a quid pro quo for the release of British hostages.

(.....)

In the wake of Laith Qazali’s release, the Asaib al-Haq network was unsatisfied; it continued to demand the release of its leader, Qais Qazali, and that of Daqduq. The terrorists did, however, release two of their British hostages, or, to be precise, their corpses: Jason Creswell of Glasgow and Jason Swindlehurst of Lancashire had been dead for weeks, perhaps longer, when their remains were turned over to the British embassy in Iraq. As the U.K.’s Independent recounted, the bodies had been “taken from an Iraqi government building in the centre of the Iraqi capital by men in police uniform, past army checkpoints and a second security screen into Sadr City, the base of Shia militias, all signs, say the men’s families, of official collusion.”

Pardon me, I'm feeling sick right now. We're not even getting back live people, we're just getting back their remains. And while I'm very, very sorry for the families of Jason Creswell and Jason Swindlehurst, this is like trading in a mint-condition '76 Mustang Fastback for a burned out Ford Pinto.

So here we are, with a deluded fucking moronic piece of shit for a President, who actually is as bad as the Right said he would be. Hey, remember when Sarah Palin gave that speech in Minneapolis, and said that Obama wanted to read terrorists their Miranda Rights? The Left guffawed and said it would never happen?

Ooops.

Yeah, how'd that turn out for you? Don't ever doubt Sarah Palin again, eh? Did that piss off all the Palin haters? Fucking good. So far she's been proven correct on just about everything she's said, while Obama has turned into a far-left idiotic piece of crap who really is the terrorist lovin', high-tax pushin', big government leadin' Socialist that the Right said he was. I think the only reason they're not pushing for a full-on gun ban right now is because the ATF is still shitting purple twinkies over the number of military-style rifles and carbines that went flying off the shelves, and are still selling like hotcakes.

Where was I? Oh, yes. Obama loves to deep-throat terrorist cock as they call him their bitch.

Back in May 2008, in a speech before the Israeli Knesset, President Bush derided the “foolish delusion” of unidentified, naïve politicians who “seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along.” Exhibiting a thin-skinned consciousness of guilt, Sen. Barack Obama assumed Bush had been referring to him, and lashed out: “George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists.”

President Obama is now way beyond mere support of such engagement. Under his leadership, and even as the mullahs who have been at war with the United States for 30 years are engaged in a Tiananmen-style crackdown, Obama is neck-deep in terrorist-for-hostages negotiations with Iran-backed killers who have American blood on their hands.

Make sure you lick those terrorist balls clean, Mr. President! You don't want those terrorists to get upset with you! Mr. Fucking Jimmy Carter Clone. When more Americans die, we can lay those deaths directly on you. Not that Obama fucking cares, especially if they're military.

Gah. What a thing to read early in the morning.

frickinfrackinfutzingnutzin

I just spent half an hour futzing with the template. Almost had it to where I want it. And voila, one click of the mouse and it's all undone!

Bah. I need to shower and get out of the house. I have to report early this morning. Can't stick around to fix it. You'll just have to deal with the old blog template for a while.

One thing about Wisconsin

Is that you get the extremes when it comes to weather. You might not have extreme temperatures for very long, but they're noticeable when they hit. We just had a heatwave roll on through that put the heat index up around 96-97 degrees.

And we don't have air conditioning in the house.

So I came home from work last night and installed a ceiling fan in our bedroom. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Nice breeze. Lovely breeze. You make me so happy. You make the Ragin' Mrs. so happy too. We love you, wonderful cooling breeze.

If I thought it was feasible, I'd move our entire bedroom down to the basement for the summer.

Read it all

You want to know why the Left does what it does? Read this. All of it.

Before the 1994 Republican takeover, Democrats had sixty years of virtually unbroken power in Congress - with substantial majorities most of the time. Can a group of smart people, studying issue after issue for years on end, with virtually unlimited resources at their command, not come up with a single policy that works? Why are they chronically incapable?

Why?

One of two things must be true. Either the Democrats are unfathomable idiots, who ignorantly pursue ever more destructive policies despite decades of contrary evidence, or they understand the consequences of their actions and relentlessly carry on anyway because they somehow benefit.

I submit to you they understand the consequences. For many it is simply a practical matter of eliciting votes from a targeted constituency at taxpayer expense; we lose a little, they gain a lot, and the politician keeps his job. But for others, the goal is more malevolent - the failure is deliberate. Don't laugh. This method not only has its proponents, it has a name: the Cloward-Piven Strategy. It describes their agenda, tactics, and long-term strategy.

It puts things in a different light once you realize that the chaos, the failures, the ineptitude and the sheer arrogance of every last parasite in D.C. is there by design, rather than just accidental. The reason our economy is on the brink of failure is because Congress wants it to be there. The reason we're trillions in debt is because Congress wants us to be trillions of dollars in debt. The reason our government is taking more and more control over American's lives, turning citizens into subjects, is because CONGRESS WANTS SUBJECTS AND NOT CITIZENS.

The more I see, the more I'm convinced that nothing short of a civil war will return this country back to it's Constitutional roots. And that scares the hell out of me.

Father's Day

I suppose I could write about five witty paragraphs describing my father. In fact, it would take five books to describe him, everything he's done in his life and everyone he's effected.

But I don't want to go into that. Maybe later, not now. So all I'm going to say is this - If I could be half the man my father is, I would consider my life well lived.

Just so you know.








OK, yeah, I can be boring sometimes.

Jaw on the Floor here, boss

You want to talk about Two Americas? Here's one side of it.

Luis Illades, an owner of the Urban Rustic Market and Cafe on North 12th Street, said he had seen a steady number of applicants, in their late 20s, who had never held paid jobs: They were interns at a modeling agency, for example, or worked at a college radio station. In some cases, applicants have stormed out of the market after hearing the job requirements.

“They say, ‘You want me to work eight hours?’ ” Mr. Illades said. “There is a bubble bursting.”

Famed for its concentration of heavily subsidized 20-something residents — also nicknamed trust-funders or trustafarians — Williamsburg is showing signs of trouble. Parents whose money helped fuel one of the city’s most radical gentrifications in recent years have stopped buying their children new luxury condos, subsidizing rents and providing cash to spend at Bedford Avenue’s boutiques and coffee houses.

I think stories like this support my theory of why Liberals exist. They are people who never have to deal with the consequences of their own actions. When you're protected from yourself, well then, anything is possible!

And if you've never had to actually earn a dollar a day in your life, then you don't know/understand/grok the value of a dollar.

Anyways, go read. And I agree with Ms. Catalano:

You know what? The parents deserve these kids. They deserve to have the spoiled results of their parenting ideals living with them. Because no one else deserves them. These parents have raised a generation of children who will never know the value of money, who will have no work ethic, and whose sense of entitlement will earn them the scorn of every hard-working peer they run into. While these kids spend their week nights — and their parents’ money — drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon at some obscure club watching a band you’ll never hear of and feeling smug about it, adults their age work and study because there are no handouts or jobs waiting for them in the family business.

Time for the school of hard knocks to kick in.

Ain't happy

The Ragin' Mrs. was supposed to be home last night, but her flight was delayed. And delayed some more. And then delayed again, and canceled.

So she'll be getting home this afternoon instead.

Gah. Well, as much as it ticks me off, there are worse things in life. And this gives me a little more time to clean up.

Sigh....

Dirty, lying, worthless, corrupt crooks.

President Obama’s choice as chief of protocol for the State Department, a position that carries the status of an ambassadorship, did not file tax returns for 2005 and 2006, errors she corrected last November.

The nominee, Capricia Penavic Marshall, has placed blame for the problem on the Postal Service and on miscommunication between her husband and their accountant.

How many Obama appointees is this now who haven't filed their taxes? Anyone got a running count? Seven? Ten? Fifteen?

These worthless fucking parasites don't even bother to deal with the IRS. They just ignore them. No wonder they all want higher taxes, they all know that THEY WON'T BE PAYING THEM! And if they get caught, it's "WHOOPSIE! NAUGHTY POST OFFICE!"

That fucking lie right there should disqualify this idiot.

Gonna post it

Then I'm gonna print it out and mail it to my congresscritters at the state and federal level.

I'm a home grown American citizen, 53, registered Democrat all my life. Before the last presidential election I registered as a Republican because I no longer felt the Democratic Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. Now I no longer feel the Republican Party represents my views or works to pursue issues important to me. The fact is I no longer feel any political party or representative in Washington represents my views or works to pursue the issues important to me. There must be someone. Please tell me who you are. Please stand up and tell me that you are there and that you're willing to fight for our Constitution as it was written. Please stand up now. You might ask yourself what my views and issues are that I would horribly feel so disenfranchised by both major political parties. What kind of nut job am I? Will you please tell me?

Well, these are briefly my views and issues for which I seek representation:

One, illegal immigration. I want you to stop coddling illegal immigrants and secure our borders. Close the underground tunnels. Stop the violence and the trafficking in drugs and people. No amnesty, not again. Been there, done that, no resolution. P.S., I'm not a racist. This isn't to be confused with legal immigration.

Two, the TARP bill, I want it repealed and I want no further funding supplied to it. We told you no, but you did it anyway. I want the remaining unfunded 95% repealed. Freeze, repeal.

Three: Czars, I want the circumvention of our checks and balances stopped immediately. Fire the czars. No more czars. Government officials answer to the process, not to the president. Stop trampling on our Constitution and honor it.

Four, cap and trade. The debate on global warming is not over. There is more to say.

Five, universal healthcare. I will not be rushed into another expensive decision. Don't you dare try to pass this in the middle of the night and then go on break. Slow down!

Six, growing government control. I want states rights and sovereignty fully restored. I want less government in my life, not more. Shrink it down. Mind your own business. You have enough to take care of with your real obligations. Why don't you start there.

Seven, ACORN. I do not want ACORN and its affiliates in charge of our 2010 census. I want them investigated. I also do not want mandatory escrow fees contributed to them every time on every real estate deal that closes. Stop the funding to ACORN and its affiliates pending impartial audits and investigations. I do not trust them with taking the census over with our taxpayer money. I don't trust them with our taxpayer money. Face up to the allegations against them and get it resolved before taxpayers get any more involved with them. If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, hello. Stop protecting your political buddies. You work for us, the people. Investigate.

Eight, redistribution of wealth. No, no, no. I work for my money. It is mine. I have always worked for people with more money than I have because they gave me jobs. That is the only redistribution of wealth that I will support. I never got a job from a poor person. Why do you want me to hate my employers? Why ‑‑ what do you have against shareholders making a profit?

Nine, charitable contributions. Although I never got a job from a poor person, I have helped many in need. Charity belongs in our local communities, where we know our needs best and can use our local talent and our local resources. Butt out, please. We want to do it ourselves.

Ten, corporate bailouts. Knock it off. Sink or swim like the rest of us. If there are hard times ahead, we'll be better off just getting into it and letting the strong survive. Quick and painful. Have you ever ripped off a Band‑Aid? We will pull together. Great things happen in America under great hardship. Give us the chance to innovate. We cannot disappoint you more than you have disappointed us.

Eleven, transparency and accountability. How about it? No, really, how about it? Let's have it. Let's say we give the buzzwords a rest and have some straight honest talk. Please try ‑‑ please stop manipulating and trying to appease me with clever wording. I am not the idiot you obviously take me for. Stop sneaking around and meeting in back rooms making deals with your friends. It will only be a prelude to your criminal investigation. Stop hiding things from me.

Twelve, unprecedented quick spending. Stop it now.

Take a breath. Listen to the people. Let's just slow down and get some input from some nonpoliticians on the subject. Stop making everything an emergency. Stop speed reading our bills into law. I am not an activist. I am not a community organizer. Nor am I a terrorist, a militant or a violent person. I am a parent and a grandparent. I work. I'm busy. I'm busy. I am busy, and I am tired. I thought we elected competent people to take care of the business of government so that we could work, raise our families, pay our bills, have a little recreation, complain about taxes, endure our hardships, pursue our personal goals, cut our lawn, wash our cars on the weekends and be responsible contributing members of society and teach our children to be the same all while living in the home of the free and land of the brave.

I entrusted you with upholding the Constitution. I believed in the checks and balances to keep from getting far off course. What happened? You are very far off course. Do you really think I find humor in the hiring of a speed reader to unintelligently ramble all through a bill that you signed into law without knowing what it contained? I do not. It is a mockery of the responsibility I have entrusted to you. It is a slap in the face. I am not laughing at your arrogance. Why is it that I feel as if you would not trust me to make a single decision about my own life and how I would live it but you should expect that I should trust you with the debt that you have laid on all of us and our children. We did not want the TARP bill. We said no. We would repeal it if we could. I am sure that we still cannot. There is such urgency and recklessness in all of the recent spending.

From my perspective, it seems that all of you have gone insane. I also know that I am far from alone in these feelings. Do you honestly feel that your current pursuits have merit to patriotic Americans? We want it to stop. We want to put the brakes on everything that is being rushed by us and forced upon us. We want our voice back. You have forced us to put our lives on hold to straighten out the mess that you are making. We will have to give up our vacations, our time spent with our children, any relaxation time we may have had and money we cannot afford to spend on you to bring our concerns to Washington. Our president often knows all the right buzzword is unsustainable. Well, no kidding. How many tens of thousands of dollars did the focus group cost to come up with that word? We don't want your overpriced words. Stop treating us like we're morons.

We want all of you to stop focusing on your reelection and do the job we want done, not the job you want done or the job your party wants done. You work for us and at this rate I guarantee you not for long because we are coming. We will be heard and we will be represented. You think we're so busy with our lives that we will never come for you? We are the formerly silent majority, all of us who quietly work , pay taxes, obey the law, vote, save money, keep our noses to the grindstone and we are now looking up at you. You have awakened us, the patriotic spirit so strong and so powerful that it had been sleeping too long. You have pushed us too far. Our numbers are great. They may surprise you. For every one of us who will be there, there will be hundreds more that could not come. Unlike you, we have their trust. We will represent them honestly, rest assured. They will be at the polls on voting day to usher you out of office. We have cancelled vacations. We will use our last few dollars saved. We will find the representation among us and a grassroots campaign will flourish. We didn't ask for this fight. But the gloves are coming off. We do not come in violence, but we are angry. You will represent us or you will be replaced with someone who will. There are candidates among us when hewill rise like a Phoenix from the ashes that you have made of our constitution.

Democrat, Republican, independent, libertarian. Understand this. We don't care. Political parties are meaningless to us. Patriotic Americans are willing to do right by us and our Constitution and that is all that matters to us now. We are going to fire all of you who abuse power and seek more. It is not your power. It is ours and we want it back. We entrusted you with it and you abused it. You are dishonorable. You are dishonest. As Americans we are ashamed of you. You have brought shame to us. If you are not representing the wants and needs of your constituency loudly and consistently, in spite of the objections of your party, you will be fired. Did you hear? We no longer care about your political parties. You need to be loyal to us, not to them. Because we will get you fired and they will not save you. If you do or can represent me, my issues, my views, please stand up. Make your identity known. You need to make some noise about it. Speak up. I need to know who you are. If you do not speak up, you will be herded out with the rest of the sheep and we will replace the whole damn congress if need be one by one. We are coming. Are we coming for you? Who do you represent? What do you represent? Listen. Because we are coming. We the people are coming.

Oh hell yeah. I'll be sending that to all my congresscritters. Found via... well, just about everybody, but Kevin Baker also links to Glenn Beck's interview of the letter's author.

May I, may I make a prediction. Your letter, in the next 72 hours, will be a letter that is circulated through a good portion of this country on the Internet. I have a feeling your letter may become a rallying cry.

And let me do my part for that.

Adding on to my Palin post from yesterday

Is Graumagus' post regarding the Republican Stupid Party.

Never will I again assume that the Republican party isn’t “flexible” enough to twist itself 180 degrees at the hips, thread itself through the legs, and fuck itself vigorously up the ass. Years and years of these “moderate” idiots working for “bipartisan” solutions after being pelted with shit by the howling primates on the left every time they could shart out a handful.

(.....)

Obama may be flooring the accelerator towards socialism in this country, but you rancid cocksuckers filled the tank and tossed him the goddamn keys.

FUCK. YOU.

I have absolutely no hope that the Stupid Party learned it's lesson; that being you do not shit all over the people who's votes you need. Given what I've seen from the Stupid Party leadership, they'll continue to lose election after election, while this country hurtles to it's death. Or until someone takes the Stupid Party elite out back and puts them out of our misery.

Scam attempt

So, there I was, minding my own business in my kitchen when my cell phone went off. Unlisted number. No big deal, all the numbers from work come in as unlisted. I answer it, and get a computerized voice:

"This call is to notify you that your VISA card account has been suspended. For information or to speak to a representative, press 1"

Uh huh. Bull-fucking-shit. But just to confirm it, I press "1" and I hear:

"Please enter your 16 digit VISA card number"

*click*

The sad part is that I could see some poor confused granny falling for this. And that makes me want to hunt these cheese-dicked fuckheads down and beat them to death with their own limbs. The limbs that I tear off of their bodies. The more I deal with humanity, the more I wonder if there's any hope for humanity. More and more, the answer I come up with is "Nope".

Why are Democrats so stupid?

As if California wasn't in deep enough debt, here's a new round of taxes that the Democrat American Communist Party wants to impose!

Speaker of the Assembly Karen Bass, a Los Angeles Democrat, said higher taxes and fees are needed instead of all $16 billion in cuts proposed by Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. His reductions would eliminate entire welfare programs and leave 1 million children without health insurance. Democrats yesterday suggested a $15 automobile license fee and said they may consider a 9.9 percent per-barrel charge on oil produced in the state.

I truly hope that good folks like Drumwaster get the hell out before the state collapses. But to be plainly honest, I just want to see California go under, as the collective result of the state's stupidity drags it further and further along the path of destruction.

Let me just say it now

Without any hints, subtlety, or innuendo: I'm a Sarah Palin fan. Why? Because out of all the nationally known Republicans, she's one of the few who doesn't run and hide and try to play nice with a group of anti-American assholes.

Letterman, Olbermann, Matthews, Couric, Lauer, Powerline, Noonan, Parker, Brooks, Frum, and the Beltway GOP once again unleashed their nastiness and savagery upon her, and what did she do? She fired back, and she fired back without mercy upon her enemies. She reduced Matt Lauer to a stumbling mass of jumbling live on National TV. She has caused the pundit class and MSNBC to twist themselves into a pretzel over her response. And David Letterman and his enablers have made themselves look foolish in the process of trying to spin this away.

All because she won't back down. All because she refuses to abandon the battlefield and "Play Nice". They have no idea how to deal with that. She is once again in their OODA Loop. And it is fucking awesome.

The GOP, as a whole, is nothing more than people who are too weak to argue against the Left. Palin has no such problem, and the GOP can't stand her for it. Is she perfect? Hell no, but she's ten times better than anyone else the GOP has managed to put forward. And you want to know how I know this? Because the GOP elite, the GOP elite who spent money like drunken sailors when they were in charge of the government, the GOP who were nothing but RINOs for years, expanding government on an exponential scale, the GOP who lost the 2006 elections HORRIBLY, the GOP who lost the 2008 elections HORRIBLY, started attacking Palin the moment the elections were over.

When the people responsible for the complete and total destruction of the Republican Party started attacking Palin, I knew she was someone who needed to be supported and advanced. So, to all those Republicans who do NOT support Palin - if you have good reasons to do so, I'd like to hear them. But at this point, I have to agree with eddiebear:

All in all, fuck anybody sideways who doesn't defend Gov. Palin now. She has rejoined the battle, and is standing there, damn near by herself, and she has them running from her, reduced to name-calling and refusals to debate her. And anybody who is unwilling to stand with her should be ashamed.

Yer damn skippy.

If you are a praying person

Say a prayer for the people of Iran, who are fighting for their future. Literally fighting. People are dying, because Iranians are refusing to roll over for the tinpot theocrat.

We need the Iranian people to win.

Friendly fire

So Kevin Baker and Billy Beck got into an argument. Things got heated. I can understand that. But we've seen this song and dance before, and it seems that Beck is unable to deal with people in a halfway civil manner. I said so in the comments:

And I'll say it again - Mr. Beck, you might be the most brilliant man on the face of the planet, but it means nothing. Because you piss off people to the point where they ignore you rather than listen to you. You can say that you want people to think straight, but your actions say otherwise.

If you're unwilling to have patience when dealing with people who want to understand you, then quite honestly you're not worth dealing with at all. Because I refuse to deal with folks who make me wear my IBA with the SAPI plate in the rear.

Look, there's a huge difference between dropping a bomb on your enemies and deliberately dropping a bomb on your allies. Beck has repeatedly shown that he's more than willing to target people who want to agree with him over minor differences in opinion. Half the time it's not even that the various individuals disagree with Beck, it's that they don't understand his train of thought, and so he does the Internet equivalent of nuking them.

Now as I've said, Beck might be the most intelligent man on the face of the Earth, but it doesn't amount to a hill of beans because he's never, EVER going to get his message out there. And this all started because of Beck's attack on Bill Whittle:

If that guy is what passes for an intellect in these times, we are more fucked than I have previously imagined, although it doesn't surprise me.

Followed by more on Beck's website:

If you're going to take seriously someone who dresses up in a goddamned Star Trek outfit and tells you that reason and logic are impotent, in order to explain the intellectual rot in America today, then you deserve where you're going.

--

As for Whittle, he's a wanker and a creep. Sooner or later, he will expose himself to the dumbest among you, and I am content with all I have to say about him until then.

Well ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLRIGHTY THEN!

Now, the merits of their respective arguments notwithstanding, Whittle has still managed to do something that Beck hasn't done - package his message in such a way that he builds support for his side rather than attack it. And by the way Mr. Beck, if you stop on by and read this, Whittle's video was one of the best tongue-in-cheek lampooning of Star Trek geekery that I have ever seen. Because Whittle knows that when you're discussing Star Trek, as Maureen Dowd did when she compared the Liberal Lord and Messiah to Mr. Spock, you cannot take yourself seriously.

So Beck doesn't like Whittle. Fine. Beck doesn't like the way Whittle gets his message across. Fine. Maybe, just maybe, instead of attacking a man that is read and enjoyed by thousands more people than Beck could ever hope hit his blog, he should try to find a way to get Whittle on his side.

But Billy Beck just doesn't do that. Because Billy Beck is always right. And so Beck goes into attack mode.

By the way, Becks response to my comment:

Fine, then. Go deal with this socialist government.

My response back:

Unfortunately I have to do so. It would be nice if I could concentrate on dealing with this socialist government without people like you shooting my side in the back.

I'm not asking you to compromise on your beliefs, I'm asking you to check fire on friendlies until you can determine if you have the same objective. Apparently you're unable to do so, which makes you a liability.

Dealing with friendly fire is bad enough. Beck takes it to a new level, where he doesn't just attack his allies by accident, he'll target you deliberately if you don't automatically fall in line with his way of thinking. And you know what? Beck's line of thought might be the correct one. But that doesn't matter when people are under attack, all they know is that they're under attack. And so Beck's message will go unheeded.

Enjoy being "right", Mr. Beck. You'll be enjoying it with a very small group of people. It took at least ten percent of the population to rise up against King George in order to have a successful rebellion. Three percent just ain't gonna cut it.

Well, of course

Allegations of corruption arise against a Democrat American Communist Party member. What did you expect? It is who they are. It is what they do.

As U.S. stock markets plummeted last September, the Senate's No. 2 Democrat, Dick Durbin, sold more than $115,000 worth of stocks and mutual-fund shares and used much of the money to invest in Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

The Illinois senator's 2008 financial disclosure statement shows he sold mutual-fund shares worth $42,696 on Sept. 19, the day after then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke urged congressional leaders in a closed meeting to craft legislation to help financially troubled banks. The same day, he bought $43,562 worth of Berkshire Hathaway's Class B stock, the disclosure shows.

Dog bites man. I would be amazed that more stories like this aren't coming out, but then I remembered that in order for the media to do it's job they would first have to pull their lips off of Obama's cock for about five seconds, and that just ain't gonna happen.

US Army Anthem (The Caissons Go Rolling Along)
Words and Music by Major Edmund L. Gruber - 1907

Over hill, over dale
As we hit the dusty trail,
And the Caissons go rolling along.
In and out, hear them shout,
Counter march and right about,
And the Caissons go rolling along.

Then it's hi! hi! hee!
In the field artillery,
Shout out your numbers loud and strong,
For where e'er you go,
You will always know
That the Caissons go rolling along.

In the storm, in the night,
Action left or action right
See those Caissons go rolling along
Limber front, limber rear,
Prepare to mount your cannoneer
And those Caissons go rolling along.

Then it's hi! hi! hee!
In the field artillery,
Shout out your numbers loud and strong,
For where e'er you go,
You will always know
That the Caissons go rolling along.

Was it high, was it low,
Where the hell did that one go?
As those Caissons go rolling along
Was it left, was it right,
Now we won't get home tonight
And those Caissons go rolling along.

Then it's hi! hi! hee!
In the field artillery,
Shout out your numbers loud and strong,
For where e'er you go,
You will always know
That the Caissons go rolling along.
That the Caissons go rolling along.

Happy Birthday

To the United States Army. Two hundred and thirty-four years.

Putting it bluntly

...is why I like Og so much, even though I've never met the guy.

The issue of marriage, in case you’ve been living under a rock, is about this and this alone: Militant gays want to damage the church because the church will never accept their lifestyle. If you don’t get this, you probably never will.

Through history, if you see a group of people whining to be allowed to join an institution, like a country club, or an all-male military academy, or a basically religeous institution like marriage, their aim is not to be inclusive, but to destroy that institution. Plain and simple. The moment there is nationwide “Gay Marriage” there will be a call to force the churches to allow gay marriage, or be put out of business. This is that road. Want to go down it? I sure as hell don’t.

The phrase "Gentleman's Club" actually use to refer to a place where Gentlemen went to socialize. Now it's used to refer to strip clubs. Want to guess why?

Because a few women demanded entry. And now there are very few Gentleman's Clubs.

Which is just what the Gay, Lesbian, Transexual, Trianything, BDS&M, getmyfreakon community wants to happen to the various churches in America.

The Wife is Packing

God and the Army have a sense of humor. You want to know how I know this? Because I finally have a few weeks at home, and the Army sends my wife away on a mission.

Yes, you read that correctly. She's heading off to an AFAP conference for a week.

Ah, the military life. I swear, once I retire and I'm home full time, the Mrs. and I won't know what to do with each other.

Free Association FU

Every now and then someone else writes something that reminds me what a piker I am when it comes to a good rant:

Well played UAW, well played. You shit on your own plate, and rejoiced when you were served seconds. You couldn’t have fucked yourselves any better if you had handcuffed yourselves to a radiator bent over, spread, and pre-lubed in a San Fran sex offender halfway house.

Fuck you!

(.....)

Speaking of beer and (cough) “music”, I stopped after work at the pub for some fish and chips last Friday with Contagion. Beer. Fish. Friend. Malt Vinegar! Good! Band…. band BAD. Oh… oh god Band REALLY BAD! Band make Grau want to jam fists into transparent battle maces (AKA Bass pint glasses) and bludgeon the guy singing some kind of fucking dirge to accordion music and some kind of pseudo-steel guitar into paste! AIIGHHHH make it STOP make it STOP!!! Grau SMASH!

Seriously, it was like “What if we took classic rock tunes and sung them off key to someone who actually manages to play accordion like they spent their formative years huffing paint while listening to the Cure”

It’s an Oompah-GothTard tribute band.

One of the bartenders there is pregnant. I implored her to either allow me to mercy kill the band, or vacate the area before she ended up birthing a Democrat Sea Monkey Yeti ThingThatShouldNotBe. Alas, the damage may have already been done.

That part had me laughing so hard I almost fell off the couch! To the blogroll with you!

Remember, Only Whites Can Be Racist

The White House was quick to respond to the shooting at the Holocaust Museum yesterday by a deranged kook who has made his mark spouting anti-semitic remarks. In the words of Pres. Obama:

“This outrageous act reminds us that we must remain vigilant against
anti-Semitism and prejudice in all its forms.”

One must pause to wonder if the White House will be coming out with any statements condemning THIS deranged kook who has made his mark spouting anti-semitic remarks:

Them Jews aren’t going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter,
that he’ll talk to me in five years when he’s a lame duck, or in eight years
when he’s out of office.

Waiting…..waiting…..hmmm.

The new name for the MSM

is going to be "The Obama Propaganda Corps". One William McGurn makes the claim that "You would think that any self-respecting White House press corps would show some of the same skepticism toward President Obama's jobs claims that they did toward President Bush's tax cuts." But showing skepticism is not the MSM Obama Propaganda Corps job, Mr. McGurn. Their job is to protect their Lord and Messiah, to promote his agenda, and to attack his critics. They don't report the news any more. They haven't done any actual, simple reporting in decades.

I look forward to the MSM Obama Propaganda Corps breathless announcement of a new Five Year Plan any day now.

Brain dead

The more I see of Liberalism, the more I'm convinced that it's a mental disorder.

In November 2008 a Dutch journalist, Joanie de Rijke, was abducted by Taliban fighters in Afghanistan. She was held captive, raped repeatedly, and released after six days for a ransom of 100,000 euros ($137,000). After her ordeal, she acknowledged that her captors “did horrible things to me,” but added in several media interviews “They also respected me,” and emphasized “They are not monsters.”

So, you go to meet these guys to do a sympathetic interview, as in an interview designed to make these guys look as good as possible, and they take you hostage and repeatedly rape you.

And yet they're not monsters? You actually think they RESPECT YOU?!?!?!?!

How about this for an idea - this woman is so brain damaged that she can no longer understand such simple concepts as "Good" and "Evil". She cannot discern the difference between "Right" and "Wrong". Whether it's massive amounts of drug use in her teen-age years, or the indoctrination common among leftist conclaves, this woman is exactly why Leftists cannot be trusted with any power. They do not have the ability to use logic, rational thinking, or plain common sense.

This woman is a good example of why evil men can do so much in this world.

Guess who's back?

OG!

That's why I don't quit blogging, despite how badly I'm sucking at it these days. Because if I ever did quit, two weeks later I'd be posting again, probably in a raging, profanity-laced rant.

Just a reminder

When dealing with the IVAW, you're dealing with the scum of the earth. This Ain't Hell has one of the best run-downs I've ever seen on the IVAW assclowns, and I just thought it was so damn good that I needed to post a link to it.

Now I'm off to work.

Batten down the hatches

I know, it seems to be Dave is Depressed Day here at 4RWWS, but let me pile on a little bit.

Rivrdog:

Yep, boys and girls, the economy is getting worse. We may not have Leno around anymore to tell his daily "the economy is bad, really bad" jokes, but the recession only gets deeper, even as the Dow Jones has added 2,000 points of "irrational exuberance" since it hit "bottom" earlier in the year.

Looking for bargains in the real estate market? Have CASH to buy them? Be my guest, you probably won't lose more than 10-15% before the market REALLY bottoms out. Looking to make a killing in the stock market? Grab a mirror, my fine chump. That busted fool whose image you see is YOU.

Come out of this recession depression in Q3 or Q4 of THIS year?

Sure, we will, and this bridge-buyer's contract is just BEGGING for your signature, Mr. & Mrs. Gullible.

And just in case you weren't depressed enough! (via The Smallest Minority)

Might I suggest stocking up on non-perishable foodstuffs and survival gear? Ladies and Gentlemen, we're about to find out what happens when the Left is in control. It's going to make the Great Depression look like a small hiccup.

Quote of the Day

From David at Random Nuclear Strikes:

It’s been sad for me to realize as I’ve aged that the ideal of human universality taught in my youth was a myth. Culture matters.

He and I must have had the same teachers in school. But I had the ideal of human universality beaten out of my head at an early age.

Worthless

I used to have a bumper sticker that read "Democrats/Republicans = Same Shit, Different Piles"

Yep. That about sums it up.

If you assume that spending limits are the equivalent of cuts, which they aren't, we are talking about a $63 billion a year out of a $3,500 billion budget. I guess it's a start, but it won't get us anywhere if they don't come up with a better plan.

Are you friggin' KIDDING ME? If there was ever a sign that the Republican Stupid Party was out of touch and unable to separate itself from the Democrat American Communist Party., this is it. With a chance to oppose the Marxist take-over of our country, the GOP offers up....

Socialism.

Good bye 2010. The GOP hasn't learned a damn thing. It's full of Beltway insiders who continue to spit and shit all over the very people it needs to vote for them. The Communists have won, the GOP has sided with them, and this country is going straight to hell. I'm loading up on ammo.

Dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit.

And since I'm posting about the death of America, let's talk about Minnesota, which is about to be represented by a demented fucking retard who got elected through the votes of dead people.

Over 2,800 individuals who voted in the 2008 general election were flagged as being “deceased” prior to the election. Minnesota Majority then selected a sample of a dozen records for additional investigation. A representative drove to addresses listed on voter registration records. Interviews conducted with residents or neighbors confirmed that at least 5 individuals from the sample were deceased, the latest having died in March 2007.

And the punchline:

Deputy Secretary of State Jim Gelbmann said that the records of the 5 dead voters were erroneously updated with a vote history by election workers and were not examples of fraud.

I don't know what world you live in, but in MY world, DEAD PEOPLE VOTING IS FRAUD! Now maybe he's trying to say that the zombie voters being left on the voting roles isn't fraud. But they still voted. This, my friends, is cause enough to bring out the barrels of tar and bags of feathers. But I'm willing to bet ten dollars, right here right now, to any takers, that Franken the Demented Fucking Retard will "win" the election, get sent to D.C., and the spineless, worthless, ridiculous joke that is the Republican Stupid Party will just roll over and take it right up the tailpipe.

I did mention that I'm stockpiling ammo, didn't I? Good.

Woke up in time to go running

But we've got a thunderstorm going through right now. Ten bucks says it'll be gone by the time I head for work. Gah. No run for me this morning.

And I'm sorry about the lack of posting yesterday, but I put lighting up in my office, put the last coat of plaster on the guest room closet, and painted my filing cabinets. I had a bit to do. I've been gone so darn much lately that I have to finish all the to-do list when I have the chance. Like yesterday.

By the way, the Sand Creek Brewing Company rocks, and I strongly recommend their beers. Just so you know.
